Rapidity and accuracy are important considerations when a drone is employed in a wide surveillance area to detect a target. They are more important when the scope of application is a search and rescue operation or the monitoring of natural disasters, which may require prompt warnings and response. During the actual operation of a drone, rapidity and accuracy are associated with the change in the altitude of the drone. The aim of this study is to analyze the characteristics of drones at varying altitudes and prove that altitude is a relevant factor in the performance of drones. Herein, the characteristics of the drone at varying altitudes were analyzed through several search simulations. The results suggest that a high-altitude drone is relatively advantageous compared to a low-altitude drone in a probability-based target search, and that the search altitude is also a very important and fundamental factor in target search by drones.

Unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) are getting popular not only as a private usage for the aerial photograph but military usage for the surveillance, reconnaissance and supply missions. For an UAV to successfully achieve these kind of missions, geolocation (localization) must be implied to track an interested target or fly by reference. In this research, we adopted multi-sensor fusion (MSF) algorithm to increase the accuracy of the geolocation and verified the algorithm using two multicopter UAVs. One UAV is equipped with an optical camera, and another UAV is equipped with an optical camera and a laser range finder. Throughout the experiment, we have obtained measurements about a fixed ground target and estimated the target position by a series of coordinate transformations and sequential Kalman filter. The result showed that the MSF has better performance in estimating target location than the case of using single sensor. Moreover, the experimental result implied that multi-sensor geolocation algorithm is able to have further improvements in localization accuracy and feasibility of other complicated applications such as moving target tracking and multiple target tracking.

본 논문은 실내 환경에서 정확도를 고려한 효과적인 도래시간 기반 무선 측위 방법을 제안하였다. 위치 측위의 목적은 타겟의 위치를 추정하는 것이다. 실내 환경에서 타겟의 정확한 위치를 추정하는 것은 다양한 오류들 때문에 어렵다. 무선 측위의 정확성은 비가시성 오류에 큰 영향을 받는다. 도래시간 기반 측위는 수신기와 3개 이상의 송신기 들 사이에서 거리 값을 이용하여 위치를 추정한다. 그러나 송신기와 수신기의 위치에 따라 장애물들로 인해 각각의 비가시성 오류도 다르다. 수신기의 위치를 정확하게 추정하기 위해서는 최적화된 위치 측위 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문은 무선 센서 네트워크에서 정확도를 높이기 위한 효과적인 측위 방법을 제안한다. 측위 시스템의 정밀도를 높이기 위해 거리 측정 단계에서의 거리 값을 보정하는 방법과 비가시성 환경에서 발생하는 오차들을 최소화시켜 효율적으로 송신기들을 선택하는 알고리즘을 제안하여 성능을 향상시켰다. 제안한 방법의 성능 평가는 다양한 오차들이 존재하는 실제 환경에서의 실험들로 인해 제시되었고, 실험적인 결과들은 기존의 방법과 제안된 방법을 가진 측위 절차의 추정 오차 결과들의 비교를 통해 측위 시스템의 정확도가 향상된 것을 증명하였다.

지상3차원레이저스캐너는 산사태 모니터링, 문화재 문서화, 토목건설, 도시공학 등의 분야에 그 활용이 날로 증가하고 있다. 그러나 지상3차원레이저스캐너의 측정값의 정확도 평가, 실험용 타깃 및 장비 교정, 그리고 시험 절차 등에 대한 국제 표준규정이 마련되어 있지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서 지상3차원레이저스캐너의 거리측정을 위한 타깃을 제작하였고, 또 이 타깃으로 지상3차원레이저스캐너의 거리측정 정확도를 검정하여 실험용 타깃으로서의 적합성을 확인하였다.

Conventional (SRS) and fractionated (FSRS) stereotactic radiosurgery necessarily require stringent overall target point accuracy and precision. We determine three-dimensional intracranial target point deviations (TPDs) in a whole treatment procedure using magnetic resonance image (MRI)-based polymer-gel dosimetry, and suggest a technique for overall system tests. TPDs were measured using a custom-made head phantom and gel dosimetry. We calculated TPDs using a treatment planning system. Then, we compared TPDs using mid bi-plane and three-dimensional volume methods with spherical and elliptical targets to determine their inherent analysis errors; finally, we analyzed regional TPDs using the latter method. Average and maximum additive errors for ellipses were 0.62 and 0.69 mm, respectively. Total displacements were 0.92 ${\pm}$ 0.25 and 0.77 ${\pm}$ 0.15 mm for virtual SRS and FSRS, respectively. Average TPDtotal at peripheral regions was greater than that at central regions for both. Overall system accuracy was similar to that reported previously. Our technique could be used as an overall system accuracy test that considers the real radiation field shape.

In this paper, a novel method called location-based delivery (LBD), which combines the short message service (SMS) and global position system (GPS), is proposed, and further, a realistic system for tracking a target's movement is developed. LBD reduces the number of short message transmissions while maintaining the location tracking accuracy within the acceptable range. The proposed approach, LBD, consists of three primary features: Short message format, location prediction, and dynamic threshold. The defined short message format is proprietary. Location prediction is performed by using the current location, moving speed, and bearing of the target to predict its next location. When the distance between the predicted location and the actual location exceeds a certain threshold, the target transmits a short message to the tracker to update its current location. The threshold is dynamically adjusted to maintain the location tracking accuracy and the number of short messages on the basis of the moving speed of the target. The experimental results show that LBD, indeed, outperforms other methods because it satisfactorily maintains the location tracking accuracy with relatively fewer messages.

An ultrasonic based magnetostrictive position sensor (MPS) provides an indication of real target position. It determines the real target position by multiplying the propagation speed of ultrasonic wave and the time-of-flight between the receiving signals; one is the initial signal by an excitation current and the other is the reflection signal by the ultrasonic wave. The propagation speed of the ultrasonic wave depends on the temperature of the waveguide. Hence, the change of the propagation speed in various environments is a critical factor in terms of the positioning accuracy in the MPS. This means that the influence of the changes in the waveguide temperature needs to be compensated. In this paper, we presents a novel way to improve the positioning accuracy of MPSs using temperature compensation for waveguide. The proposed method used the inherent measurement blind area for the structure of the MPS, which can simultaneously measure the position of the moving target and the temperature of the waveguide without any additional devices. The average positional error was approximately -23.9 mm and -1.9 mm before and after compensation, respectively. It was confirmed that the positioning accuracy was improved by approximately 93%.

The optimal guidance has advantages of accuracy and economic energy consumption but it is difficult to implement due to its dependence on the target information such as the relative range, the relative velocity and the acceleration of target. This paper uses optimal guidance and sliding-mode guidance to obtain a new guidance method. The suggested method shows robustness against target maneuvers, good dynamic performance, energy saving of missile and terminal accuracy. Its effectiveness is demonstrated by the simulation results.
